Waymo vehicles are being controlled by operators in the Philippines (“They provide guidance”) https://www.businessinsider.com/waymo-grilled-lawmakers-chinese-cars-overseas-workers-ev-autonomous-vehicle-2026-2

They're not working to bring automation to everyday life - they're working to normalize Reverse Centaurs*.
They want you to applaud exploitation & slavery; robotization is the facade they slap on it to give you plausible deniability, not least to yourself.
They are monsters & they want YOU to be a monster, too.

I pay about $1.50 every day just to charge my phone. I can charge it twice a day if the sun is available, sometimes I can’t charge it at all 😞
A phone here is not a luxury. It is our only way to communicate, to ask for help, and to follow the news. It is the only thing connecting us to the outside world.

As for solar energy tech, it is entering Gaza very, very slowly. Our entire energy infrastructure must be rebuilt, but getting new equipment through the Israeli occupation checkpoints is extremely difficult.
Please help me stay connected, your solidarity and support mean so much to my family.

Access to solar energy is extremely limited compared to the massive need. Many families cannot access it at all.
When there is no sunshine, nobody can use their phones or any other electric devices. All other electric infrastructure has been destroy.
This is the reality of daily life here, where even charging a phone has become a daily struggle.

Sometimes I get a really good quote in.
“Pointing out that AI is prone to giving ICE bad information is missing the entire point of ICE,” EFF’s Eva Galperin told Rolling Stone. “They don’t care if the information they have is good.”

It's super-important to note that EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE WARNED ABOUT FROM JUMP!
These voices were unambiguous years ago, when the excuse for wanton, unregulated data harvesting was Big Data™️ & have been equally clear concerning the inherently fascist & destructive AI project.
The most disconcerting thing about all this is, there was never a good reason to dismiss the warnings as alarmist; that was always a vibe argument, not one with any factual basis.

Salü! Ich bin Estefan aus der Schweiz🇨🇭
Tech-Enthusiast mit einer Vorliebe für Tools, die tatsächlich funktionieren (ja, die gibt es). Nebenbei optimiere ich gerne Workflows, die niemand braucht, schaue zu viele Serien und diskutiere gerne über Fussball.
Hier gibt’s: Tech-Takes, Produktivitäts-Tipps, Serienkram und gelegentlich Pilger-Nostalgie.
Immer offen für: Spannende Perspektiven, neue Serien-Empfehlungen und die wirklich guten Memes.

People with #electronic and #programming experience… a friend (professional musician) and I were chatting and we had an idea for affordable good hearing aids (we both have hearing loss): in-ears are relatively waterproof. They have to work with sweat dripping, being in the rain, etc. things that you are not supposed to have hearing aids near. They are also much cheaper than hearing aids. Yet, essentially, in many ways “the same” - you set what you want to hear live fed to you and mix it how you want. Hearing aids you just want to hear everything and can tune down background noise and increase certain ranges of sound to mix so you hear it right.
It seems like in-ears should be able to - in theory - function as a much more world-proof hearing aid. That would put the individual in control.
Is this possible to become a thing? Fediverse seems to be a place to have the right overlap of #foss and #tech folk for someone to have a go at this…?
